Calls: Fell for a lot of Chelsea tricks towards the end. The Drogba penalty was a case of six of one, half a dozen of the other so I agree with no penalty

5.0

Neutrality: The mistakes definitely helped Chelsea more than Napoli

6.0

Style: Poor whistle again, but superb fitness

6.3

General assessment

This season Brych has not lived up to the high standards he set for himself last year. His foul detection has been particularly poor of late, and he would perhaps benefit from a period out of the limelight - I don't think he should have any more CL or Europa matches this season.

Control: Had some pretty heavy work during the match and I thought he did well to control it

7.0

Calls: His lenient approach was risky given the circumstances but it contributed to a great match. Although Drogba has a good case for a penalty I feel the no-call was a better decision. Fell for a few dives (1 wrong YC) but otherwise good. Penalty was well s

8.0

Neutrality:

6.0

Style: Certainly Brych could "let the whistle talk" for him a bit more (which may help increase his control and authority). His style for this game was good and his fitness for 120 min. was impressive.

7.3

General assessment

@James Ng - Unfortunately Brych will not be at Euro 2012Overall performance was good and I hope to see him again in the CL.

No

This time no report about "card policy" or "positioning", Brych is a grown up referee who knows the ropes and will be there in Ukraine/Poland (no he won't, I assumed automatically, without checking that he was going to be there, like he is always there). I want to say something about the last hour of the match.

last hour
Chelsea saw a chance and Napoli had to fight them off, this can mean hard work for a referee. Not just whistling and pointing and looking angry, but anticipating and showing some referee skills. I saw none of that, just a guy running behind the facts blowing his lungs out in his whistle.

soldiers
There were some seasoned soldiers on the pitch, in fact Chelsea consist mainly of old hands having seen it all and the slyest of them all is Drogba. Drogba fell down dying after he almost got hit with an arm, Brych fell for it, Drogba did it again, Brych even showed a yellow to a Napoli player.

a tear
A Napoli player was fouled and while falling he kicked his opponent viciously. Brych didn't see it. The fourth ref, though, let Brych call the Napoli player over. Was he going to send him off after all? No, there was something wrong with the player's shorts. Were they torn? No? Okay, play on.

penalty
There should have been one more penalty, perhaps. It was Drogba who went down, clearly pulled, but it was AAR Florian Meyer who waved it off. At least we know for sure that someone actually saw it happen.
